The Salt Solution by Camilla Francis

14 March 2007

 

Salt, increasingly demonised by health professionals and the media alike, presents us with a paradox. Constantly, we are told to cut down on salt before it cuts short our lives; yet still our bodies crave it. Such cravings, however, are for natural salt. Incredibly, new research hails salt, in its original, untreated form as a panacea for the perils of modern living.

Himalayan Crystal Salt & Its Many Health Benefits

by Zirah (B. L.) Hearn

 

Throughout history salt has enjoyed an illustrious position, even playing a key role in the rise and fall of various empires. The ancients considered it to be essential to the maintenance of life. Homer even went so far as to call it a "divine substance", Plato described it as "especially dear to the gods", and the Celtic word for salt means "holy" or "sacred." The Romans actually used it as currency (the word "salary" comes from the Latin salarium, meaning a payment made in salt), and even Jesus supposedly referred to his followers as "the salt of the earth."

3. Excerpt from, "Salt-Essential or Harmful?"

by Dr. Joseph Mercola

 

Ordinary table salt undergoes a great deal of processing. It is approximately 97.5 percent sodium chloride and 2.5 percent chemicals, such as iodine and moisture absorbents, dried at over 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. This high heat alters the natural chemical structure of the salt. By contrast, unrefined natural salt, such as Himalayan salt, is 84 percent sodium chloride and 16 percent other naturally occurring minerals, including many trace minerals like silicon, phosphorous and vanadium.

Ordinary table salt has absolutely nothing in common with unrefined natural salt... The latter is essential for proper biological function, while too much of the former can indeed create health problems.

Unrefined natural salt is important to many biological processes, including:

  • Being a major component of your blood plasma, lymphatic fluid, extracellular fluid, and even amniotic fluid
  • Carrying nutrients into and out of your cells
  • Helping the lining of your blood vessels to regulate blood pressure
  • Helping you regulate propagation of nerve impulses
  • Helping your brain send communication signals to your muscles, so that you can move on demand (sodium-potassium ion exchange)

However, for every gram of excess sodium chloride that your body has to neutralize, it uses up 23 grams of cellular water. Hence, eating too much common processed salt will cause fluid to accumulate in your tissues, which may contribute to:

  • Unsightly cellulite
  • Rheumatism, arthritis and gout
  • Kidney and gall bladder stones
  • Hypertension (high blood pressure)
